Put More Jingle In Your Pocket at Gamestop [CLOSED Giveaway]

The economy is still tight, as is your budget, but there are still gifts left on your holiday shopping list. You just happen to have a few old electronic gadgets lying around…. Gamestop wants to help you put more “Jingle in Your Pocket” this holiday season!

Gamestop’s new program allows you to bring in your old iPod, iPhone &/or iPad for some jingle in your pocket. This program is unlike many of the other programs out there… with Gamestop there is no packing, no shipping and no hassle. A store associate can tell you the value of your trade items before you commit and will give you cash or store credit right there on the spot.

Current Trade Values:

· iPod Nano – Up to $70

· iPod – Up to $150

· iPhone – Up to $180

· iPad – Up to $300

Gamestop has helped me stretch my holiday budget in other ways as well. I brought in all of our old video games the children have lost interest in or just plain old “beat” and was able to walk out with new games to put under the tree!

The associate was able to tell me on the spot how much they could give me for the game, I can veto or accept and was given store credit (with cash option) on the spot. They offered me a little more for store credit so I chose that and purchased the games. Quick, easy and it decluttered our game area!

MomSpark is giving away a $1,000 gc to Gamestop. Just share a photo of yourself trading in your iPod, iPhone &/or iPad at Gamestop to enter… go check it out!

What an awesome program! I’m saving money buy purchasing gift cards at our local Kroger store because they are giving 4x the fuel points when you purchase gift cards from them!!
Gas is so expensive, this is a great deal.
Thanks, Karen

I have been putting more jingle in my pockets by not buying ANYTHING without researching it to death first, and searching out the best prices for the items on my list. I have easily spent 40% less and gotten 20% more than the last few years.

I’m shopping smarter this year (mostly online). I’m looking out and waiting for sales instead of just getting things to get them checked off the list. I’ve even won a few things off the list too which helps a lot!

We recently moved, so as we’ve slowly been unpacking, I’ve been making a HUGE for sale pile. So far we’ve sold quite a bit on Craigslist, so that put a bit of extra cash in our pockets. I also use coupons and shop the sales!

I started shopping early this year. I believe my first order was placed in May. Then I placed orders online on Thanksgiving and Black Friday. I even stayed up all night and went shopping on Black Friday. I shopped from 10pm Thanksgiving Day (Walmart) to 5pm Friday (Walmart-non supercenter). I’ve picked up a few things from Christmas lists from Amazon when the prices finally dropped and I signed up for the free Shopprunner promo and Amazon mom promo to get free shipping. This is the least amount that I spent in several years, but my tree is going to be packed. I even used Totsy to get a majority of my sons train sets when they were deeply discounted and I am so glad I did because no one has been able to touch those prices.

I shop throughout the year, enter online giveaways, watch sales like a hawk, overthink every single purchase down to the “do my kids really need socks” even though they REALLLLLLLLLY need them, went out on Black Friday and fought the crowds, shopped yard sales for 2 gifts for my son, and a mixture of everything in between.

Being on a fixed income and medical bills,there’s not a whole lot of anything left over let alone money. But I did watch for sales and bought online and free shipping included for all my grand children.

Well, I don’t have much ‘JINGLE’ in my pocket to start with, but to keep what little ‘JINGLE’ I do have, I only shop at SALES. I even research the item(s) prior to my buying it/them. Also, I like to purchase via eBay. I’ve scored some really good deals on eBay.kimbuckjr@yahoo.com

I have been coupon shopping & doing a lot of price comparing to add a little more jingle to my pockets this holiday season! I have saved a bundle by reading blogs & getting the best deals I can find on things!! Thanks for the chance to win!

Gamestop is decent for trade-ins on occasions, like when they’re having a promotion, but for the olders games they give you next to nothing for it that it’s hardly worth the trip. Selling locally is also a good alternative: might take a little more time, but you’d get a lot more most of the time. If also keep up with pre-order offers or price drops, it’s also possible to get brand new games at discounted prices without having to trade-in games; most retailer these days offer price-match or pre-order giftcards. Personally, I like to hold onto most of my games, even after they’re completed, but I can see the merit in trade-in: trying to stretch every dollar.

I have been pricing out everything before I buy it. I calculate the price per item/ounce and often buy stuff off of Amazon since you don’t pay tax it is often cheaper 🙂 Also, I did all my Christmas shopping on-line this year on Cyber Monday. Got great deals, and didn’t have to spend the gas money to go to the store!

this year, i’d say 90% (if not more) of our christmas gifts were from giveaway winnings. It’s been a life-saver. We have 2 young children (1 & 4) and our oldest (the 4 year) has a birthday right before christmas (actually today 12/21). we’re completely broke so this has allowed us to have a big christmas for the kids without much out of pocket!

well my son and I have been basically homeless for the past month and a half. Therefore, I am counting my blessings and only buying a few presents (that I can afford!) for my little man. He is a good kid, he understands.

I am putting more jingle in my pocket this year because I get 3 paychecks in December! It just worked out nicely that one of the two 3 paycheck months of the year happened to fall on the Christmas month.
